MICE 2019 Board Election
by Richard Laager Aug. 2, 2019

Aug. 2, 2019

The MICE board consists of three directors with staggered 3-year terms. One position is up for election each year at our fall meeting. This year's fall meeting, UG 33, will be held on October 16 at the 511 Building. The current seat up for election is the one that I hold. At this time, the board would like to open nominations. If you or someone you know is interested in running, please reply on the MICE-DISCUSS list or contact any board member. Nominations will close September 30th. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

MICE UG 32
by Richard Laager July 16, 2019

July 16, 2019

Reminder: UG 32 is on Wednesday of next week (July 17) at 3:00pm Remote Conferencing: 952-562-5400 passcode MICE (6423) Location Details: Cedar Falls Utilities 1 Utility Pkwy Cedar Falls, IA Agenda The agenda is attached. I'm behind on getting this out, so I didn't send a separate call for agenda. If you have something to add, let me know ASAP and I'll send an updated agenda. As this is an "away" meeting, I intend to skip the repeat old business items. We can pick those up in October. As far as I know, we have no other technical committee report this meeting; if anyone is planning on giving a technical committee report, please let me know. I've also taken the liberty to reorder things a bit. The idea here is to group business (official reports and things that could involve a motion/vote) before open discussion. This way, people who are not interested in the discussion can leave earlier if they wish, confident that they won't miss an official motion/vote. By shortening the "mandatory" part of the meeting, this may make the meetings more accessible. I'd like to give this a try for a couple meetings and see what people think. That said, with this being the summer outreach meeting, we traditionally cover "What is MICE?" first. I kept that at the top, rather than putting it after adjournment. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

MICE 100Gig Card Replacement Maintenance Window
by Richard Laager Jan. 11, 2019

Jan. 11, 2019

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: MICE 100Gig Card Replacement Maintenance Window Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 17:35:00 -0600 From: Jeremy Lumby <jlumby(a)MNVOIP.COM> Reply-To: MICE Discuss <MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET> Organization: Minnesota VoIP To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET After yesterday's meeting discussion about the 100G card replacement on the MICE core switch, I now have a tracking number for a new 100G card from Arista. Based on needing 7 days of major maintenance notice, and a request to complete before MLK day it looks like Friday 1/18/2019 at 2PM CST will be the best time to complete the maintenance. The new card requires a switch OS upgrade. Based on an Arista recommendation, I will be upgrading to 4.20.11M prior to the card replacement. This will cause a total traffic disruption on the MICE core switch. Prior to the maintenance I will be blocking BGP on all ports of the core switch to allow traffic to gracefully reroute. If you choose to shutdown BGP on your own prior to the maintenance, please leave your interface enabled so that link can be verified after the maintenance completes.

UG 29 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager Sept. 28, 2018

Sept. 28, 2018

The MICE UG 29 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 10, 3:00 pm, at the 511 Building Cafeteria, 11th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN. The agenda and draft UG 28 minutes are attached. The remote conferencing will be the same as before: 952-562-5400 passcode MICE (6423). At this meeting, we will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Reid's seat is up for election. Reid _is_ running for re-election. If anyone else is interested in running, please nominate yourself. Voting will be done in person. If you will not be attending in person, you must designate a proxy, in advance, in writing. The bylaws state that you send that to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager(a)wiktel.com or, if you prefer, chiefmanager(a)micemn.net If you are having trouble finding a proxy who will be there in person, ask on the list or I can help you find someone. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

Super Bowl Change Freeze
by Richard Laager Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

As you have probably heard, the Super Bowl is being held in Minneapolis on February 4. We discussed at UG 26 that it would be a good idea to institute a change freeze for a few days to a week before. If you need to upgrade your port capacity or make other changes at MICE, please plan to have those *complete* by January 26th. If it were me, I wouldn't even cut it that close. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);
